1,2-Benzenediol,4-amino-, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:

1,2-Benzenediol, 4-amino-, hydrochloride (1:1), commonly referred to as 4-amino-1,2-benzenediol hydrochloride, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring with hydroxyl (–OH) and amino (–NH2) functional groups. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydrochloride salt form, which enhances its solubility. It is often used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. The presence of both hydroxyl and amino groups allows for diverse reactivity, including potential hydrogen bonding and electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to understand its handling, storage, and potential hazards. Overall, 4-amino-1,2-benzenediol hydrochloride is a valuable compound in organic chemistry with applications in research and industry.

4-Aminobenzene-1,2-diol hydrochloride

CAS: 4956-56-3

4-Aminobenzene-1,2-diol hydrochloride (4ABAH) is a cox-2 inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit the activity of human cell factor and x-ray diffraction data. It has also been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. The prodrug ester hydrochloride is converted to 4ABAH in vivo and undergoes hydrolysis by esterases to release 4ABAH. This conversion may be limited by the rate constant, which may decrease with time due to enzyme inactivation or competition with other substrates. 4ABAH inhibits cell proliferation in carcinoma cell lines, but not in normal cells. The drug is water soluble and therefore can be administered orally or intravenously.
